Hydrothermal Synthesis of Tetragonal Phase CuInS2 Nanoparticles

Article Preview

Abstract:

The tetragonal phase CuInS2 nanoparticles were synthesized by the reaction of Cu(Ac)2, InCl3·4H2O and thioacetamide by hydrothermal method at 200 °C for 6 h in pH 1. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectrum, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. Experimental results indicate that reaction temperature and the pH of solution are the important factors in the formation of CuInS2. The SEM and TEM results illuminated that the CuInS2 was composed of so many nanoparticles.
